> 4) Finally, it looks like libthread has support for a lot of non-CSP stuff.  Is this part used much?  Or is it just there for historical and/or completeness reasons.

my simple search through thread.h yielded only these functions that i wouldn't
consider either part of thread/proc management, particular csp applications
(e.g. io* functions) or genuine csp:

	long	decref(Ref *r);			/* returns 0 iff value is now zero */
	void	incref(Ref *r);
	void	threadnonotes(void);
	int	threadnotify(int (*f)(void*, char*), int in);
	void	yield(void);

was there something else you had in mind?
